The definitive guide to the extraordinary world of coffee from growing
and roasting to brewing and serving the perfect cup.
The ultimate guide to the history, science and community behind coffee.
Here, Tristan Stephenson explores the origins of coffee, its journey
around the world and cultural influence. A section on Farming, Roasting
& Assessing coffee takes an in-depth look at the growing and harvesting
process, the evolution of the coffee roaster and the science behind the
many flavours of coffee. There is also advice on buying coffee,
understanding the differences between espresso blends and single origin
coffee, packing and storing. We then move into Espresso and get to grips
with grinding and making espresso-based drinks including the latte,
cappuccino, flat white and macchiato, as well as pouring latte art and
introducing chocolate, sugar and syrups. Other Brewing Methods showcases
a selection of classic brewing techniques that bring the coffee to your
kitchen table, from the mocha pot and French press to pourover and
siphon brewers. Finally a section on Enjoying Coffee offers 25 recipes
for coffee-based drinks and baked treats to serve them with. From iced
to Irish, espresso martinis to coffee beer, this is an essential
anthology for the coffee enthusiast.
